Nice People

It has been a crazy week.  Sister Nelson and I have been working to find more people to teach and rebuild our teaching pool.  It has been a bit of a challenge, but people have been especially nice and polite this week.  Sunday evening was really great because we went up to Old Sarum, where the chapel is being built.  It should be finished by February and we're so excited...

We knocked around that area and to our surprise most people recognized that we were from "the new church being built."  We had only knocked two doors when a young father opened the door and not only listened to what we had to say but took the Book of Mormon and gave us his number.  He told us he'd be gone for the next 3 weeks but he will be a great one to stop back by again.  We also stopped by a potential investigator family who is Fijian.  I think I'm convinced that Fijians are some of the nicest people on the planet. She invited us in and we got to teach her about the Book of Mormon as well.  She also said she was leaving to go to Canada with the army but committed to read the Book of Mormon.  Her husband (who had left a couple weeks ago) had taken the Book of Mormon that we'd left him a few weeks ago.  We were so happy to hear about that! We'll stop by them again soon. 

I know that as we continue to do our best, the Lord will help us find new people to teach. We know that Heavenly Father will answer our prayers as we are faithful and patient with His timing.  I'm grateful to be serving here amongst so many "nice people." 

Scripture of the week: "Lift up your heart and rejoice, for the hour of your mission is come; and your tongue shall be loosed, and you shall declare glad tidings of great joy unto this generation...Yea, I will open the hearts of the people, and they will receive you...Be patient in afflictions...Be faithful unto the end, and lo, I am with you. These words are not of man nor of men, but of me, even Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, by the will of the Father. Amen." -D&C 31

P-day at Wilton House today - Earl and Countess of Pembroke live here. The grounds are amazing!
